Jim,
Most TV providers allow you to access DVR through the internet now. I don't know if you can set up programming or just control when shows are programmed but I think it'd probably be fairly accessible. I've even seen a lot of apps for smartphones that allow you to do the same thing. The tricky part is accessing the shows you've recorded. A lot of DVR's will either put your shows in folders or list different shows in order of air date. Either way if you know when a new episode is supposed to be on then with a little maneuvering with the arrows, enter, and last buttons you should get to your shows just fine. I hope this helps.
